Ventricular Assist Devices: Challenges of the One-device Era.
Review in Cardiac failure review, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Heart failure (HF) is linked to to high mortality rates and recurrent hospitalisations despite medical and device-based achievements. The use of left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) has improved survival among patients with advanced HF. Significant progress has been achieved with the new generation of continuous-flow devices, particularly with the fully magnetically levitated HeartMate 3. In June 2021, Medtronic announced the abrupt withdrawal of the HeartWare device from the market. This decision has introduced a new era in which the field of mechanical support for advanced HF patients is dominated by a single device - the HeartMate 3. The direct clinical and economic consequences of this change will necessitate new surgical considerations. Because of the expected need for HeartWare device replacement in small patients, new surgical techniques and device adaptation will be needed. The new single-device era will hopefully encourage scientists and engineers to create innovations in the advanced HF arena. Special considerations should be taken during the COVID-19 pandemic when treating patients with LVADs.
